Summary
A monochrome gelatine silver print stereograph view of fisherman overlooking the harbour at Brixham, Devon. The image shows 4 fisherman, in different forms of dress, standing on the quay looking out over the harbour. Some are wearing suits and peaked caps, which suggests they are captains rather than deckhands. On the far quay are moored numerous sailing/fishing boats, behind which are a variety of 3 story shops. Rising behind them are tiered rows of substantial buildings. The 2 images have square corners and are straight edged, with no space between them. They are mounted on card which is light grey on recto and verso, with a white surround, and rounded corners. Markings: Recto - Handwritten in pencil, on the right hand side, "Brixham Fishermen". Verso - nil
